Future of meat + Carnivore health benefits = autocannibalism?

Taking us toward future maniacal laughing zombie apocalypse with brain eating?

Autocannibalism would technically be a way to avoid that scenario.

But it does make me wonder how the people caught ‘mad cow’ disease in the United Kingdom in the 1990s from eating beef? I don’t think they were eating brains. The mad cows were getting infected from being fed feed supplements that contained ground up cattle carcass bits that were left over after butchering.

The other prion disease I find fascinating is the Tasmanian Devil facial tumour disease spread by biting.

Now we have the full sci-fi future horror recipe (or script) with maniacal laughing, face biting, hypersalivating, mutant mad Tasmanian devil cows to watch out for.

Brain eating is the easiest way, but it’s not required. You can still get Creutzfeld-Jakob from other flesh. They’ve found CWD in deer can spread in plants. When any fluids containing the prions get in dirt, plants will take them up.CWD is a particularly nasty one. Hopefully it never becomes contractable by humans.

Peter Ballerstedt and Alan Savory make the opposite point that, in order to thrive, the grasslands need the ruminants with which they evolved in tandem.

The ecological damage done by farming crops is considerable. Among other things, the number of small animals killed during the process of harrowing and ploughing is considerable, not to mention the ecological problems of mono-cropping. Plus, croplands get depleted of nutrients quite quickly without fertilizer, and the best source of fertilizer is the manure produced by ruminants. Commercial processes use fossil fuels and increase greenhouse gases.

If we are going to grow meat in vats, where are the nutrients for it going to come from? What kind of carbon footprint will this process have? Ruminant agriculture actually sequesters carbon, if done properly.

Took on a new job that is keeping me busy. I’m taking a short break to catch up with the forums.

I’m sorry—you switched to a language I don’t know. Translation, please? :rofl::rofl:

Plants are no longer benign!

Okay, this is a pretty weird thread. Don’t really have anything to add… Except…

It reminds me of a true story.
So back in the late 50’s, there was a Nat Geo team who had made contact with a tribe of forest dwellers deep in the Amazon jungle. So what’s the universal peace maker ? Food, right ? So they started sharing their rations with them. Of course they had never had anything like the stuff the science team were carrying.
Turns out their favorite item was Spam. Hmmmm.
So a translator for the team asked the tribal leader about this and he said, “They loved it because it had the porky taste, of human flesh”… Turns out they practiced canabalism, but mostly on their enemies !

Ya’ know, I never really liked Spam before I heard this, but that always stuck in my head… And I was like, “Tastes like human flesh” ? Uhhhh… No thanks :slightly_smiling_face: lol
